About This Gigapan

The primary function of Palmer Station is to support science on the Antarctic Peninsula. The station houses state-of-art instruments and equipments for scientific research, so we could do almost everything we normally do in our home institutions.
Many of the instruments, equipment, and chemicals we regularly used were stocked in vans at the station and meticulously inventoried. Special items have to be shipped from South America via icebreaker. Because the shipment only comes about once a month, we had to plan what we wanted very carefully before we deployed to Antarctica.
